Re-run elections: Sen. Abe commends NASS

Sen. Magnus Abe, All Progressives Congress (APC), candidate for Rivers South-East Senatorial District has commended the National Assembly for directing the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) to conclude all re-run elections in the country by Dec. 10.

Abe, via a statement issued by Mr Parry Benson, his media aide, on Wednesday in Port Harcourt, said the directive was necessary because the legislative duration of the positions had been cut short due to the delay.

He also said that the postponement of the elections did not serve the interest of Rivers people, and urgedRivers governor to provide a conducive environment for the election to hold.
